Whenever this movie was being promoted, I thought, oh well, here there is another historical movie with great scenery but no soul. I was wrong, the action, the intrigue, the complete story is overwhelming and strong. Action scenes are really well done. Framing and scenery is amazing and well planned. And even tho we have seen this kind of stories before, this one has that one and only feeling that hast to be stated.
